Default Skunk 2 Lowering Springs???

HI everyone I want to know if anyone can help.
I bought some brand new skunk 2 lowering springs with skunk 2 shocks
I got them installed and it did drop. But my rear passenger side I can fit 4 fingers between the fender and tire but on the other sides i can only fit 2 fingers! Im really confused I know they are in properly since I took my car to a shop twice. And its been about 3 weeks so the springs should've settled by now. The car is a 93 del sol

Do you have springs or coilovers? Are the springs in the rear the same on both sides?

Lowering springs = uneven ride height.

On the 4 finger side, make sure the spring is on the shock correctly. Also, springs shouldn't settle.

Damn...didn't think it would've been Tht uneven on just one side.
I'm pretty sure the spring is sitting properly on the shock since I took it to two mechanics already too see if they can find anything. I'll try to post pics tomorrow. Thanks guys
